We have been doing a lot of inspections lately that feature homes that have "vessel" or bowl type sinks. These sinks are quite popular these days, not to mention cool to look at.

The only caution about "vessel" type sinks is that they have no overflow, so be careful when filling them up. They are not compatible with distractions of any kind! It is a good idea to never fill one up while you are on the phone, texting, changing the baby’s diaper or letting small children use them without proper supervision.

Many learn the hard way about the lack of an overflow, including inspectors!
